Silver Peak Systems, the leader in accelerating data over distance,
today announced it has been named to CRN’s
2013 Infrastructure 20 list, which highlights the top infrastructure
providers in CRN’s
2013 Data Center 100 list. This annual list recognizes
channel-friendly technology vendors that increase data
center efficiency in an environmentally and economically friendly
manner.

As data volumes increase, disaster
recovery requirements become more ubiquitous and applications move
to the cloud,
IT professionals need to move more data quickly over longer distances.
Silver Peak data acceleration software
overcomes the distance, quality and capacity challenges that are
inherent in today’s wide area networks (WANs). The Silver
Peak Champions partner program provides partners with the unique
advantage of selling the industry’s highest-performance and most
flexible WAN acceleration solutions on the market. This includes the
broadest portfolio of virtual machines that can be deployed anywhere and
on any platform, including all common hypervisors.

“Silver Peak’s partner program provides innovative product packaging,
training, and ongoing support for our global partner community,” said
Larry Cormier, senior vice president, worldwide marketing for Silver
Peak. “Recognition as one of the CRN Data Center 100 and inclusion in
the CRN Infrastructure 20 is a reflection of our dedication to the
channel and underscores our commitment to our partner’s success.”

“The 2013 Data Center 100 list recognizes vendors that, over the course
of 2012, have shown a dedication to the innovation and advancement of
today’s data center services,” said Kelley Damore, Vice President and
Editorial Director for UBM Channel. “The recent upsurge in cloud
computing has solution providers searching for new ways to ensure their
clients maintain connectivity while mitigating costs and security
threats. We congratulate each vendor on the 2013 Data Center 100 list
for providing a significant growth opportunity for solution providers to
build their business by offering cutting-edge products and services to
customers.”

Selected by CRN's editorial staff, the 2013 Data Center 100 list
is featured in the January issue of CRN Magazine and will be featured
